On my R129 sl500, I solved the issue by opening up the throttle body and removing the metal cover on the side where the accelerator cable connects, (you need a security type torx bit to accommodate the pin in the screw head). There is a micro switch above where the spring is, mine had carbon tracking on the base plates of the micro switch that is just above the spring, I cleaned it off carefully without over sanding it. The base plate seems to make contact at an opening that reveals the spring. I don’t know exactly how it works, but after cleaning it , the engine runs as it should again, without going into limp mode and ASR light is off. Good video, I wish I had the code reader, as I cannot get one here in South Africa 👍
Sorry to talk about this on an unrelated video, but could I ask you a couple questions about the LS430 model? I have an 02 I am trying to sell. Wondering if I have a bad PCV valve and have another Q.
@@Maybe1Someday ok I’ll check, exhaust has just been billowing white smoke on start-up occasionally. Also run through oil rather quickly. Mechanic didn’t care to even investigate other question is just if you have ever had any VSC issues

If you take it off and cant blow through it or the ball valve doesnt move its bad. It’s probably good. Other question?
